Large deviations for probabilistic cellular automata. II. (Q2577180)

[For part I, cf. ibid. 108, No. 5-6, 1255--1280 (2002; Zbl 1027.60080)]. The authors formulate some general assumptions on Markov chains in order to derive large deviations bounds. They apply the results to probabilistic cellular automata, where lower bounds of the Donsker-Varadhan type are not valid. They also obtain approximate large deviation estimates for Markov chains which are small perturbations of a given product Markov chain.
